Does Vick have a future in Frisco?
Michael Vick | Falcons | Interested: 49ers?
On his NFL.com blog, Adam Schefter has speculated that the San Francisco 49ers may be angling to bring former Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick into the mix to be the team's new field general, should Vick be reinstated by the league when his prison sentence is over.
Schefter notes that the team will interview Dan Reeves today for its vacant offensive coordinator position, and Reeves was the coach of the Falcons when the team traded for a No. 1 overall draft selection to take Vick in 2001. Two other coaches the 49ers have pursued for the vacant offensive coordinator position - Baltimore Ravens quarterbacks coach Hue Jackson and former Falcons wide receivers coach Mike Johnson - also have ties to Vick.
The team has also signed Jimmy Williams, Vick's former teammate at Virginia Tech, who lives in Hampton, Virginia near one of Vick's homes.
In 2008, San Francisco's passing attack ranked No. 13 in the league with 3,379 yards through the air. Shaun Hill and J.T. O'Sullivan combined for 21 touchdowns and 19 interceptions, and were sacked 55 times. In 2006, Vick threw for 2,474 yards with 20 touchdowns and 13 interceptions and also ran for 1,039 yards and two touchdowns.

why did nobody sign Jimmy Williams this year? He's pretty good.
Vick in SF would be interesting. Everything seems to be aligning for that to happen.

I don't know why any team would want him.

Well, hes a good football player. He isnt great but he good be pretty damn good in the right circumstances. Once again, I doubt the Niners sign him, but Id be surprised if no one did.

Vick would be deadly in a triple option or wildcat style offense. Where he is allowed to run.
Problem is that most nfl teams don't run that style.

It'd suck to have him on my favorite team. I could never actually root for him.

Im all about 2nd chances. I mean what he did was horrible, and I love dogs, but if he isnt allowed to at least try and play football again that would be a much worse crime. People should be able to make mistakes and recover from them.

He really should be a better person after all of this. Talk about feeling entitled as a young man. Geez, he was given everything for so long, he could do no wrong.

I don't see how there is any way Singletary would even consider putting up with his shit. This rumor seems like Schefter was bored and wanted to start something.
Isn't Vick likely to be suspended once gets out of jail anyways?

Ya, like I said, I doubt SF is where Vick lands.

this is pure speculation because reeves used to coach him and jimmy williams lives near him? hahahahahahhahahaha. now that is some terrible fucking reporting. not to mention adam schefter is a JOKE.
vick is a good "football player" but he is a shitty QB. he has no accuracy and has no intelligence. his only ability is to run and he wont be as fast as he used to be and he has no throwing ability to fear.

When I first saw this thread I thought, "Who is Vick and why is he being moved to small forward?"
